Question can a program harm my CPU

[Mojtaba11110]

hey one of my friends recently told sth to me that makes me nerves about my PC component.he said using 100% of cpu can harm it after like 3 years or more. i use a program that use 100% of cpu for like 2 hours and my temp is like 50 or most of the times 48. my friends use emulators for the game that use 100% but they are still using their pcs. can it really harm cpu??? i have 6600k its not overclocked.

Usage won't hurt a CPU but high temps (above 80C) or high voltage (above 1.4V <--Only affected by program or manual OC) certainly can.

Running a 6600K @100% usage and having the temp under 70C is perfectly safe.

If you run it flat out quite a lot, then investing in a better cpu cooler can keep it running for longer. Doesnt need to be anything expensive $30 buys something a lot better than the stock cooler.
